Students face intense evaluation

The students of Star Academy 2026 faced a high-pressure evaluation at the Dammarie-les-Lys castle on Monday, November 2, 2026, just two days after Antoine's elimination from the competition. The assessment required them to listen to an audio recording of Nikos Aliagas announcing his victory, then deliver an emotional speech and perform a song from a predetermined list.

Amel struggles with her performance

Amel's rendition of Somewhere Only We Know by Keane was marked by vocal inaccuracies and approximations, raising concerns among the judges and observers. Her performance did not meet the expected standards, prompting questions about her readiness for the next stage of the competition.

Mélina expresses distress over her performance

Mélina faced a significant memory lapse while performing Roi by Bilal Hassani. She mixed up the lyrics, sang off-key, and expressed concern that her performance would lead to her nomination for elimination. She admitted, "I missed the verse, the chorus, I mixed everything up... I will be nominated, that's for sure."

Kylian shines while others have mixed reactions

Kylian successfully performed Je ne suis pas un héros by Daniel Balavoine, earning praise for his execution. Morgan and Cameron had mixed reactions to their performances, with Cameron's sensitive rendition of Keane's song even moving Marine, the 2024 winner, to tears.

Several students impress the judges

Tracy, Leeloo, Maud, Ydriss, and Isabella all delivered strong performances. Tracy left the professors speechless, while Ydriss performed Roar by Katy Perry successfully. Isabella's heartfelt cover of Roi reinforced her position as a top contender in the competition.

Nominations to be revealed soon

The official verdict on which three students will be nominated for elimination will be announced by Mosimann during the daily broadcast on Tuesday, November 3, on TF1's Star Academy. The results will determine the next stage of the competition and increase the pressure on the remaining students.
